  11. 1.1 Fractions

  12. Definitions Natural numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4,…, Fraction Bar: Represents Division. 1 ÷ 2; 2 / 3; 15 ÷ 7 Whole numbers: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4,…, Numerator Fraction Bar Denominator Fractions: , , Proper fraction: has a value of less then 1; the numerator is smaller than denominator. Improper fraction: has a value of 1 or greater then 1; the numerator is larger than or equal to the denominator. Mixed number: is a combination of a whole number and a fraction. Ex. The improper fraction can be written , a mixed number.

  13. Learn the Definition of Factor • In the statement 2 × 9 = 18, the numbers 2 and 9 are called factors. • All the factors of 18 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18

  14. Prime vs. Composite • Prime: • A natural number greater than 1 is prime if its products include only 1 and itself. • Ex. 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37,… • Composite: • A natural number greater than 1 that is not prime is called a composite number. • Ex. 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12,…

  15. Prime Factorization • Write each number as the product of prime factors… 35 24

  16. A fraction is in lowest terms, when the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1. • Writing a Fraction in Lowest Terms: • Step 1: Write the numerator and the denominator as the product of prime factors. • Step 2: Divide the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor, the product of all factors common to both. • Basic Principle of Fractions: • If the numerator and denominator are multiplied or divided by the same nonzero number, the fraction remains unchanged.

  17. Write in lowest terms.

  18. You Trywrite the answers in your notebook, do not answer out loud. • Write each fraction in lowest terms • Prime or Composite, if composite do prime factorization. • 31 • 64 • 33 • 2

  19. You are driving down the road in your car on a wild, stormy night, when you pass by a bus stop and you see three people waiting for the bus • An old lady who looks as if she is about to die. • An old friend who once saved your life. • The perfect partner you have been dreaming about. Knowing that there can only be one passenger in your car, whom would you choose?

  20. The old lady of course! After helping the old lady into the car, you can give your keys to your friend, and wait with your perfect partner for the buslady of course!

  21. Multiply and Divide Fractions Multiplying Fractions: If and are fractions, then · = . To multiply two fractions, multiply their numerators and then multiply their denominators. Dividing Fractions: If and are fractions, then ÷ = . To divide two fractions, is to multiply its reciprocal; the fraction flipped upside down.

  23. Add and Subtract Fractions Adding Fractions: If and are fractions, then + = . Subtracting Fractions: If and are fractions, then .

  24. Examples

  25. Different Denominator If the fractions do not share a common denominator. The least common denominator (LCD) must first be found as follows: Step 1: Factor each denominator. Step 2: For the LCD, use every factor that appears in any factored form. If a factor is repeated, use the largest number of repeats in the LCD.
